These are definitely problems. This game seems to be scripted too. Every time an RTTS pitches, gets zero run support. Going 0-4 on 4 hits at over 100mph. Perfect swings for 112 mph outs. Also the AI management is messed up, my AAA teammate at Iowa Cubs is LHP Justin Steele. Been there all season, has ERA around 2.00, is the ace of the Cubs the past 2 seasons. But not good enough (rating 80+) to make the big leagues in 2025.
This game is straight garbage. Been playing for years and it literally gets worse every year.
Pretty much like every sports game in existence. It's like the geniuses creating these games never actually played sports or bothered to learn anything about them.
Just really tired of playing unrealistic glitch riddled, scripted BS.
Do better, game devs!

I'm so frustrated with this version of MLB: The Show, it's literally giving me a stomach ache.

First of all, I'm in my 3rd season (as a pitcher, which seems to be the only type of player that will allow my guy to be called up whether he is a 2 way player or not) and his attributes are absolutely atrocious. How am I still in the low 30s in all these pitching categories after countless hours, 90 something starts and over 500 innings pitched? This is ridiculous. My player might be in his 40s attribute-wise by the time he retires.

Secondly, I spent way too much trying to make my player better only to realize it doesn't really help my guy much. It seems like the equipment (all Diamond variety in my case) doesn't actually add to the attributes either.

Meanwhile, as I trudge along as a low ranked starter who would rather be a position player, my team literally gives me no run support at all...ever. If it wasn't for me driving in an occasional run, I would be getting zero runs every game. That's another thing. How is it that I'll be 2-2 with 2 RBIs while the rest of my team has 1 hit total, gets taken out for a pinch hitter.

I could go on and on, like how my team, The Cubs, traded away 75% of their team in the very first season, leaving 2 outfielders, a DH and 5 First Basemen to handle OF/1B duties. Meaning there's always a terrible outfielder in every one of my games who either makes errors or can't get to a pop up that's 10 feet away because he is too slow and supposed to be a DH (Miguel Sano in LF, great idea Cubs manager!)

It's absolutely atrocious and I'm not sure it can be fixed.

By the way, why doesn't the 1st Inning program or XP/Stubs I earn work properly or ever get to me? I feel like I keep earning all these phantom rewards but can't actually figure out what to do with them because they don't seem to exist, despite being told they do.

I have bought this game every year since day 1 and you have literally made it unplayable in my opinion. It makes me physically ill because I have been a fan and I feel like this is just a scam version.
